Replying to: furley (Mar 09, 2009 8:35 am) They just quoted me $640.00 for the 40K service on my GTI's DSG......I asked what "What The Hell" they do to it for $640... They said the fluid is expensive???? and the Labor is also????? They are not replacing any parts so this is pure bull. Replies to this message: goose (Apr 22, 2009 6:56 pm)

Replying to: nemo (Nov 07, 2007 9:31 am) I checked with a dealer and an indie VW garage and they both quoted $350.

i have a 08 GTI/DSG and i had the mechatronic unit replaced its the computer that controls the shifting and when it goes bad u get hard shifting and lagging and a jerking under power most dealers wont test it because they haft to call the tech line and run a lot of test and only tech line can approve the repair of the mechatronic unit and the reason the DSG service is so much is the oil required for the DGS is $24 a quart and it hold 9 quarts and most labor rates around me are $107 a hour
